Works for single distro installation, sure. But the intent and promise of BLS is distro interoperability with a shared $BOOT among multiple distros.

If the additional barrier to adoption that Fedora imposes is that every distro needs to also include signed efifs ext4 in order to read $BOOT, I think it's too much.

But also we need verification and clarification on this "GRUB only" proscription by Microsoft of any other bootloader, mentioned earlier in this thread: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/W6BI4G7NST6WXIMF6GPAKC6R4EE6OS2D/
